Killing off physical SIMs is like arguing in favor of soldered RAM. Because that's all eSIMs are you know. They are not software SIMs. They are physical components with the additional capability of being provisioned remotely by the end

Amazing, just found a video where they add a SIM slot to a US iPhone 14. The space is there and the slot just plugs right in. It required removing some resistors (to reroute the data lines from the eSIM to the slot). They didn't even

Is it a meaningful alternative to Passpoint Wi-Fi in the scenarios you described?

Specs typically vary slightly with LTE band support but nothing that would drive large mechanical changes. This was a deliberate move, an A/B test of sorts. Good point on the mmWave support. I wonder if that's where the antenna is

The USA versions of Apple's flagship phones (iPhone 14 and up) have ZERO physical SIM slots. They are dual eSIM only. Models sold elsewhere in the world retain a single physical SIM slot. Yes you read that correctly. They made multiple

This can easily be resolved by not buying an Apple phone and buying a phone that still retains a physical SIM slot. Stop giving companies money for making stupid decisions. It only emboldens them further.

There are those that preach hatred for large chain retailers and think we should all go back to mom and pop stores. Unfortunately, ma and pa are terrible at logistics.

So the label on the package that says "must be stored between 20-25C at all times" is bullshit? Because some random internet people said it was false? Why would they put the label on the package then?

I don't understand. What stops you from changing it yourself and swapping it back when you move out? And you're ready to propose more legislation. Most programmable thermostats need batteries, which now have to be changed on a mai

Not to mention that most prescription medication specifies that it must be held at room temperature (72-ish degrees) or risk spoilage. Your refrigerator will also work harder as the ambient temperature climbs.

We could likewise list off plenty of stereotypes about the French too, but I thought we're above that here. Oh those dumb stupid Americans, like Willis Carrier.

Clearly missing the point. The OP mentions DOS, so this was the mid-90s. OpenBSD didn't exist (Theo hadn't burned all his bridges with NetBSD yet). There were NO updates. You bought software, games especially, in a shrink wrapped

I'd be curious to know how many of the units that caught fire never had the filter cleaned, were used in a dusty area, or otherwise poorly maintained. You'd be surprised at how many people never change their furnace filter (or eve

Imagine then sending the 40% through a lossy transmission network, transferring it to batteries made from cobalt mined by child slaves in the Congo, which will self-deplete if sitting unused, then telling everyone you know you're helpi

Imagine if you could only fill an ICE car with petrol to 3/4 full, that it would be bad to exceed that, and to bumble through life thinking this was okay.

Quite literally they ingest and aggregate MLS data and present it differently with little other value (other than wildly speculating on property values). An MLS "alternative front end" if you will.

I posed a similar question in another thread. Why hasn't an alternative emerged for SAP? For Concur? All these tools reputedly universally hated, all have near-monopolies. Why? Because few are motivated enough to tackle 'boring&#x

Yes but we are talking about bulbs (with Edison base) here not all-in-one fixtures. Yes, the same could be said about ceiling fans with built in remote receiver. The problem with these of course is you need the remote, and if you lose it yo
